Mullach Glas is the middle peak in a group of three 600m peaks at the SE end of the Maamturk Mountains. Sometimes called Shannagirah.
Mullach Glas is the 251st highest place in Ireland. Mullach Glas is the second most southerly summit in the Maamturks area. Trackback: http://mountainviews.ie/summit/239/?PHPSESSID=b5hgg0opkal22gb6rm4gqhvkr4

Arriving at Corcogemore the view of Mullach Glas to the west opens up. I had downloaded Simon Stewart’s Maumturks walk route onto my gps and I followed the route NW from Corcog before heading W to reach Cruiscin (Mullach Glas NE Top). To head directly west to Mullach Glas from Corcog would mean finding oneself facing tricky steep slopes on the descent and an eventual climb back up to the col, so it’s safer and more efficient to go with Simon’s (and csd’s) route.

In the event I was lucky to have a largely clear day where visibility was excellent. The biggest challenge was not slipping on ice and snow covered rock, and resisting the urge to skid across the various frozen ponds en route! Trackback: http://mountainviews.ie/summit/239/comment/4450/
